This school is great. The teachers and parents have an open relationship. I get weekly emails telling me about my children's grades so I can see whether or not they are on track. A good community to raise a family in and a great school for students to attend.

I do not recommend attending Elma. The experience I had here will forever traumatize me. I was constantly bullied and got beat up several times for wearing "bad clothes", but the staff didn't do anything about it. THIS SCHOOL SUCKS!!

Overall Elma High School shouldn't be in your mind when you think of a good school. The staff is extremely dysfunctional and unsupportive in many occurrences. Save yourself as soon as you can by not going here, there is better opportunities elsewhere.

Elma high school needs new counselors that know what they're doing and will put the students best interest first and foremost. They need a new school psychologist that isn't married to the superintendent. They need a new vice principle and principle. Their administration staff is horrible. My child...

This school is all about picking favorites. It's very discouraging and holds students from growth. As a student I recommend not to enroll your student in Elma.

Elma high is a great school with various classes that allow students to gain experience and understanding so that it may be used later on in life. I've seen the clubs it has to offer and know the staff are willing to help students if they're willing to accept it. Great school and free food.
